Trust the clueless, jaded Nigerian politician. Mr. Tinubu wants to fight a war against hunger and one of his main lines of action--according to his spokesman--is to destroy more forest lands to establish more farms. He is probably not kidding. But, someone should remind these folks that the reason for the extreme hunger in the land today is not that we have yet to turn more of our dangerously dwindling forests into farms. Rather it has a lot to do with the general state of insecurity across the country. Have they not been to north central and middle belt regions--the country's farm belt-- to see that farms small and large have been abandoned by their owners, leaving crops to waste, because of the violent invasions and kidnappings, and mass killings? War against hunger indeed.
